Adding orbi voice to existing tri-band mesh extender network
Hopefully a simple question: I have 2 working ext7500 mesh extenders in my home. Can I add an Orbi voice Smart speaker as an additional mesh extender (RBS40V-200) to further extend in other areas? Is...
Thanks for this. So far the Nighthawk router I have and two 7500 Extenders work well. I don't know that I need a further extension but thought with features of Voice Orbi (with Alexa and sound capability) it might make some sense for convenience. However I don't want to invest in the Orbi if it won't work well, nor do I want to change the system to a full Orbi mesh. If I do the former I'll re-post and comment on how well it works (or not). Much appreciated.
Let me know how it goes! I'd be interested.
If you do have issues, try disabling the "onessid" feature on one of them and giving it its own unique ssid.
